I put mine up for a couple of months pre-season......take it down about 3 weeks before the opener.

Reasons:

1. If I left it up during the season....that's just another reason to go check it......which I don't wanna do.
2. After the season.....I see no point. I'm only interested in what might be there for THIS season. Seeing a buck on film AFTER the season don't tell me if he's gonna be around for next year.
3. It's simply an "inventory" tool for me.


This is just my thought process. MANY ways to skin a cat.
